Well, after 3 full days of throwing up every 20 minutes, no food and no water I demanded to be seen by my doc today. He took all the fluid out of my band and put most of it back in. Ahhhhhh! I was finally able to eat some soup and drink water. All of this from ONE small bit of a cheeseburger ( no bun). Sure, I lost 6 lbs in the past few days but I would rather have a slow and steady weight loss than to have to go through that again. Soooo tired of throwing up my own saliva all the time.
